MS Access 2010

I'm am upgrading our dbase from Access 2000 to 2010. When I open it I get an error message: Database contains missing or broken reference to the file 'MSCALOCX' version 7.0. I think what means is the calendar app is outdated or not working correctly. How does one go about fixing this problem.

That calendar OCX is no longer directly supported in A2010. There is now a built in calendar control that can be enabled for any text box with a date.

btw ... you will need to uncheck the reference cal ocx.

Now, I believe it is possible to still use the ocx in A2010 ... by say putting it in the same folder as your app  (or wherever) and then set a Referece to that location.

mx,

Thanks for the help. Bear with me though, I'm not the guy that created the dbase and have limited experience with it other than simple maintenance. That said the 2 things that concern me are: most people in the office will slowly be upgrade from office 2000 to 2010. If I make the change that you point out will it affect how the older versions access to the dbase.

Second question would be could your details be explained more simply. Your fix seems to be exactly what I need but I'm confused as to where I make the change. Is it in a table, or form. And it everywhere a date is use.

First question first....most people in the office will slowly be upgraded from office 2000 to 2010. If I make the change that you point out will it affect how the older versions access to the dbase.
Sorry, I'm still not sure which change you are referring to?
Using the old OCX in A2010 or ?

I think I'm unsure about using a new OCX in the old A2000.
